David, what was "determined" based on my reading of the posts is that height
is not a reliable indicator for use in determining when an index needs
rebuilding since size alone can require that the index be in a certain
number of levels.

Subject: index rebuild


There was some recent discusison on here regarding rebuilding indices based
solely on height.

Is this a good criteria to use in determining what indices to rebuild:
height is greater than 4
percentage wasted space on deleted entries compared to active
entries is greater than 20%
percentage of deleted entries compare to active entries is
greater than 20%

Should any other critera be followed and could indices be flagged under this
criteria and still don't necessarily need to be rebuilt.

Thought and opinions please...

Thanks
